One of Brel's undisputed masterpieces, it was first perfomed at the Olympia in Paris in 1964 and received a three minute standing ovation. It's Brel's vision of freedom , the freedom of sailors to sing, dance, eat, carouse, whore and take pride in virility, the joy spoiled only by unfaithful women (who probably have their own vision of freedom.) In his own words (translated): "Amsterdam is the symbol of the adventure which begins tomorrow which men dream of. It's kind of a song of virility, […]

When love fails, as it often does in Brel's songs, there's the comfort of a faithful and sympathetic friend, such as we find in Jef, one of Brel's most noteworthy songs. The publication of the Fondation Jacques Brel is named Jef for this song, and their wonderful 3 DVD box set is titled with a line from Jef, "Comme quand on était beau." He wrote it in 1964 but this is a 1966 performance from a farewell concert at the Olympia.(Subtitle correction-- Jef weighs 100 kilos, not 10, or 220 […]

The pathos of extreme old age so vividly described here in such poignant detail. Brel was part of a volunteer acting troop that entertained in old age homes when he was young. Perhaps that was where he drew his inspiration for this song. He performed it often and it is considered a masterpiece. Jacques Brel Les Vieux English subtitles envoyé par lightning49

Brel's widely heard complaint against militarism, regimentation, insensitivity and prostitution has long been known to the English speaking world through the 1968 translation of Mort Shuman and Eric Blau called Next. It was part of the highly acclaimed review Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and living in Paris and has been covered by Scott Walker, Marc Almond and Alex Harvey. It is one of Brel's most powerful, dramatic songs. Correction: Mouzicheck writes from France that "Une armee en […]

Lovely early Brel chanson, 1953. At 24 he was still under the influence of the Catholic Youth group he belonged to. The video is of Montmartre in the 1960's depicts a lively scene where street art flourished and people felt open and free. Jacques Brel Sur la Place eng. subtitles envoyé par lightning49

envoyé par lightning49 Barbara, France's most important female singer/songrwriter describes her love affair with a much younger guy. The way she conveys every nuance with her eyes and face has to be seen to be believed. One French fellow said of this song,"When you are a boy approaching 20 and still a virgin, you can identify and see yourself falling into Barbara's arms. Thanks, Barbara, for making me dream so much."

Humourous song about some people who ridiculed the bourgeoisie in their youth only to become the same as them as they got older. An attack by Jacques Brel on embourgeoisement, a deadening of the spirit that happens to most of the middle class. Jacques Brel Les Bourgeois 1962 engl.sub envoyé par lightning49
